3. PROPER USE
1. Mower KDT is equipped with "Perfect Cut" cutterbar. Table 1 shows the differences in
mowing height depending on angle at which cutterbars are set and what kind of skids are
applied.

• The rear mounted disc mower is intended to mow green fodder: grass, alfalfa and such on
permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to form loose rows of cut
fodder. The pasture or field being mown should be even, best if prepared by rolling. In
the event of a majority of tall grass the first and second mowing should be done at a height of
60 - 70 mm, while with a majority of short grasses at a height of 50 mm. The last mowing
should be done a little higher - at 70 - 80 mm from the ground.
1. A mower with the crop scarifier/rollers is equipped with the „Perfect Cut” cutting bar.
•
The rear mounted disc mower with crop scarifier/rollers is intended to mow green fodder:
grass, alfalfa and such on permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to
form loose rows of cut fodder. As a result of the passing of the layers of the green fodder
through the flails or rollers the grass stems are broken and a layer of wax is removed. This
facilitates and speeds up the drying process of the fodder by approximately 30 to 40%. The use
of rollers is especially recommended when mowing legumes such as alfalfa. Rollers are
particularly recommended for mowing grass legume such as alfalfa. The pasture or field being
mown should be even, best if prepared by rolling. This is especially true of mowers with rollers
as they tolerate rocks with a diameter of a few centimeters. If a larger stone is picked up stop
and remove it as it could cause damage of the discs. With a majority of tall grasses the first and
second mowing should be done at a height of 6 - 7 cm, while with a majority of short grasses at
a height of 5 cm. The last mowing should be done a little higher - at 7 - 8 cm from the ground.

4.6. Hydraulic assembly
Caution! Hydraulic assembly is under pressure! Hydraulic oil under pressure may permeate
through skin and cause serious injury, therefore skin and eyes should be protected in particular.
In case of injuries caused by a liquid under pressure, call a doctor immediately.
Hydraulic hoses can be connected to tractor's hydraulics, provided that both the tractor’s and the
mower's hydraulic assemblies are not under pressure. To remove the pressure from the hoses
just simply restart the tractor's hydraulic valves several times, once the tractor is off.
When dismounting the machine from the tractor, set the equipment aside, deflate the pressure
from hydraulics and turn tractor's engine off.
When controlling for hydraulic assembly's malfunction and looking for oil leaks, it is forbidden
to touch any potential leaks until the entire assembly is under pressure.
Note! It is recommended to use hydraulic oil featuring oil purity class 9 - 10 in accordance
with NAS 1638.
When using hydraulic hoses:
Avoid stretching the hoses when operating.
Do not allow hydraulic hoses to get deflected.
Do not expose hydraulic hoses to contact with any sharp edges.
If damaged or worn, replace the hoses with new ones.
Useful life for hydraulic hoses is 5 years from their production date.

5. OPERATION
5.1. Attaching the mower to the tractor
The mower is connected to the tractor’s 3-point-linkage (Fig. 8). After the mower has been
attached, adjust (on the flat ground) the mower’s position by means of top S and lower W links
(Fig. 8). The cutterbar should lean towards the driving direction. Lower links W should be
connected to 3-point linkage frame pins A. Support chain L holds up mower’s linkage frame.
Connect hydraulic hose to tractor’s hydraulic connector.
After the mower has been attached to tractor, check the balance and steerability of tractor-
mower set. To do it, weigh the set and after that drive on the weigher with only the front axis of
the tractor (the mower must be in transport position – lifted upwards). If the pressure on the front
axis is at least 20 % of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is stable. If not, the front axis
should be balanced.

CAUTION:
Before disconnecting the mower put the pin 1 (Fig. 9a) into the hole 3 in the
bar (Fig. 9a) to secure the linkage against falling. When the mower is
connected the pin should be in the bush 2 (Fig. 9a) on the middle bar.
5.2. Preparing the mower for transport
To prepare the mower for transport and to meet safety precautions, please do the following:
lift the mower with tractor hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the mower 3-point linkage
frame raise about 0,5 m above the ground (Fig. 11),
lift support leg up and secure it with split cotter,
remove the pin 1 and put it into the bush 2 (Fig. 9a),
lift the cutterbar by hydraulic cylinder vertically until the pawl Z locks in (Fig. 9b),
secure the cutterbar against falling by the shut-off valve (Fig. 10b) placed on the mower’s
hydraulic cylinder.
CAUTION:
During transport the shut-off valve of mower hydraulic lift should always be
closed – the valve lever in Z position (Fig. 10). It protects the mower against
incidental falling in case of hydraulic failure.
